Hornady UNIQUE Case Lube is good for me.

I just started reloading .223 and had a couple of stuck cases.

I put together a homemade "stuck case removal kit" and have used it several times.

Then, someone told me about Hornady's UNIQUE Case lube. You just rub you fingers across its surface and as you handle the cases, it lubes them.

This stuff is really good. Since I started using it, I haven't had a stuck case - not even close. About every 5 cases I swipe my fingers across the UNIQUE.

I'm still figuring out how far I can go before I have to retouch the UNIQUE.

Thought I'd share my success with you all.

There was another product a lot like this one called Imperial Case Wax. I looked at it, but the Hornady product was packaged twice the amount and it was a few bucks cheaper.

Yep, good stuff. I think it's the same as Imperial but cheaper. Not that price is a problem, one can will last 1100 lifetimes.


Political correctness offends me.

I've been using Imperial products for over a decade but I'll certainly try out this Hornady stuff. Especially since MidwayUSA recommends it for: "Can be used to waterproof leather, boots, and shoes. "

Hmm, perhaps it's the same stuff as mink oil or Atsco SnoSeal?

Hornady is great stuff. I also use Young Country case lube and it works exactly the same. You get more in a tub of Young Country. Hard to find though.
When done sizing, just roll the brass in an old towel, wipes right off.

It is indeed the same stuff. Good.
